...Albert's chameleon-like personality is too much for the love struck Giselle, and her trauma worsens slowly to psychosis and finally death, all caused by her broken heart. From there, the Americanization continues as a Southern bayou replaces a German graveyard. As two dozen Willis enter to initiate Giselle, Albert arrives at the haunting bayou. But before he is lured into his own dance of death, Albert is saved and Giselle's generosity releases her soul from the fate of becoming a Willi. Shellman is a powerful dancer to the last moment, his leaps and turns gaining strength...
...Face in the mirror looks the same./ Every morning I keep looking for a change." Color her chameleon, for Barbra Streisand's persona seems constantly to change, if not every morning, at least with the times. And certainly with the trends. The lyrics are from her new album, Emotion, and to promote it she made her first video, which debuted last week (with Kris Kristofferson, 45, as her unbilled costar) on Entertainment Tonight. Since what's new is neo and what's hot is retro, the 6-min. clip for the song Left in the Dark features...
...actor finds a beguiling blend of character study and star quality. The director and designer devise different strategies that can serve a single stage. The company struts its chameleon craft, and the audience relishes a smorgasbord of theater history. Such are the pleasures of repertory, especially as executed by Britain's Royal Shakespeare Company.

But Bowie has more disguises than a chameleon, and in his new 20-minute video for the song Blue Jean, from his soon-to-be-released album Tonight, Bowie assumes two roles. Sometimes he is Lord Byron, sometimes he is a sign painter named Vic, vainly trying to convince his girlfriend that he and the randy aristocrat are buddies. Seems like old times, but the period is mid-20th century. "Blue Jean...
...show's opening lineup featured three regulars: the deadpan, usually deadeye Buck Henry, the chameleon-like Dave Thomas, late of SCTV. and Valri Bromfield, a Canadian comedian whom Michaels originally wanted for SNL. There was a handful of mostly traditional sketches, long on premise and short on development. Guest Star Steve Martin (who can be funny just standing still) opened the show with some mincing mimickry of Michael Jackson's distinctive footwork. In one skit Jeff Goldblum (The Big Chill) played an earnest, geeky math teacher who yearned to belt out Tom Lehrer-like songs for the faculty...
